Japanese	Romaji	English
どちらに進むか決めなさいと	dochira ni susumu ka kimenasai to	When I am asked to decide which way to go,
問われ嘘をついた	toware uso o tsuita	I blurt out a lie.
右を示してくれた人は	migi o shimeshite kureta hito wa	The people who told me to go right
左側へ行った	hidarigawa e itta	ended up going to the left.

呼吸(いき)が出来るように	iki ga dekiru you ni	In order to breathe,
生きてけるように	ikitekeru you ni	in order to live
そう言って	sou itte	That was what you said

言葉にするのは	kotoba ni suru no wa	Having to put it into words
苦しかっただろう	kurushikatta darou	must have been painful.
傷だらけになったままで	kizu darake ni natta mama de	As I became covered in wounds,
笑っていた	waratte ita	You laughed.

離れ離れになる事	hanarebanare ni naru koto	Scared of the things that could separate us,
恐れ逃げて目を逸らした	osorete nigete me o sorashita	I averted my gaze and ran away
足を止め、見え隠れする	ashi o tome miekakure suru	I stop in my tracks, my vision flickering
犠牲・代償　何の覚悟もない	gisei daishou nan no kakugo mo nai	I am not prepared to be, or repay the victim^[1]

どちらに進むか決めなさいと	dochira ni susumu ka kimenasai to	When I am asked to decide which way to go,
問われ嘘をついた	toware uso o tsuita	I blurted out a lie.
右を示してくれた人は	migi o shimeshite kureta hito wa	The people who told me to go right
左側へ行った	hidarigawa e itta	ended up going to the left.

言葉にするのは	kotoba ni suru no wa	Having to put it into words
苦しかっただろう	kurushikatta darou	must have been painful.
願っているのも	negatte iru no mo	Even wishing
苦しかっただろう	kurushikatta darou	must have been painful as well.
傷だらけになったままで	kizu darake ni natta mama de	As I became covered in wounds,
笑っていた	waratte ita	You laughed.

離れ離れになる事	hanarebanare ni naru koto	I'm so, so scared of being separated,
怖い　怖い　側に居たい、と	kowai kowai soba ni itai to	I just want to be by your side

足を止め、見え隠れする	ashi o tome, miekakure suru	I stop in my tracks, my vision flickering
犠牲・代償　何の覚悟もない	gisei daishou nan no kakugo mo nai	I am not prepared to be, or repay the victim

何が真実だとか	nani ga shinjitsu da toka	So, what is the 'truth'?
冷たい金属だとか	tsumetai kinzoku da toka	Is it cold, hard metal?
見てよ、ほら見て歩いてる	mite yo, hora mite aruiteru	Look, look at me walking!
後ろ向いて歩いてる	ushiro muite aruiteru	Walking away from you!
誰がいつ決めたのか	dare ga itsu kimeta no ka	So who was the one that made the decision?
神様は何処に居るんですか	kamisama wa doko ni iru ndesu ka	Just where is our God?
埋まらない　埋まらない	umaranai, umaranai	Ah, how unfulfilling!

離れ離れ遠く離れ	hanarebanare tooku hanare	Separating from you, I go far, far away
左側へ行った人へ	hidarigawa e itta hito e	To the people who went left
最後にくれた優しさ、ここに残す	saigo ni kureta yasashisa, koko ni nokosu	I'll leave your last act of kindness right here
色褪せないように	iroasenai you ni	So it won't lose it's brilliance

離れ離れになる事	hanarebanare ni naru koto	What drives people apart
犠牲・代償、その覚悟	gisei daishou sono kakugo	Is that resolve for victims and their compensation^[2]
首から下げた愛情と	kubi kara sageta aijou to	I grasped the love dangling from my neck
ブラックゴールドのリング握って	burakku goorudo no ringu nigitte	and a black gold ring
足跡消えないように	ashiato kienai you ni	So my footprints won't disappear^[3]

Translation Notes

↑ Not quite sure what the little 'dot' means between 犠牲 and 代償。Here I just assumed these two were connected to one another grammatically and in context.
↑ Unsure if the その覚悟 part connects with the next sentence cluster, and can't tell if the intonation is necessarily going down to indicate the end of a sentence. I decided to translate these sentences as such as to avoid a very lengthy English explanation.
↑ Here I assume that the singer is verifying her existence/her failed relationship. She grasps the 'love' and the Black gold ring in order to leave her 'mark'. May possibly be referring to the existence of her ex, but I decided to translate this portion in first person.
